"Doma..." Even as Sogo Doma cried injustice in his heart, Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke while pressing her temples, as if doing so might ease her headache somewhat.
As someone who had been single for nearly thirty years... Ahem, that was not quite right. She had had a boyfriend before, except he had been a con artist—and he had only conned her out of money!
Whenever Sogo Doma thought of that, he wanted to laugh—what kind of con artist, when faced with Shizuka Hiratsuka, would only scam her for money?
That con artist: "..."
Did he really not want to scam her for anything else? Had they ever seen someone snap a wooden block with one punch? He had!
And that was not even the main issue. She was the young lady of the Hiratsuka Group—what the hell was he supposed to scam from her? If Shizuka Hiratsuka had not had that status, he would not have run away after moving all the furniture out. Money was important, sure, but his life was more important.
Ahem, setting aside that relationship that could only be called dark history, it was true that Shizuka Hiratsuka had been single for nearly thirty years. Still, even though she was single, she could tell that there had been no love between Sogo Doma and Mashiro before! At the very least, that lazy, utterly unruffled look in his eyes proved everything!
Could eyes devoid of any emotion possibly be called love? They were worse than that con artist she had met!
But how was she supposed to say something like that out loud? Still, as an adult, Shizuka Hiratsuka figured it was no big deal.
"Don't you want to say something?" She looked toward Sogo Doma. Whoever caused the trouble should deal with it!
"Fine, that wasn't—"
"Sogo?"
